anything new & not seen before

anything new and not seen before on iOS/android or new and not seen before in any other electronic device?

lolwhut?


nah nah

ppl like me jus turned our backs in bb for nun, jus for so

What? :s

Up to now d man cyah say what it is new he want to see. Cyah explain if it's something new not done before on iOS or Android. Cyah explain if it is something new not done before on another electronic device period.

One feature I like in BB10 is being able to share screens while in a video chat. I wish I had that on my iphone. I like that one can switch between video and chatting on the fly in bbm now vs having to switch to another app in standard iOS. I also like the ability to "turn back" time in photos to a point where the subjects all are focusing on the camera or not blinking.

how i suppose to kno what new they should have been, as a consumer, they brought nothing new to wow me, they didnt pioneer anything new

eg, look @ why ppl switch from bb to android or ios

what they have to offer for consumers to come bk?

thats why they lose market share

stop being a flaming fanboy, the phone is ok, but has no wow factor

who vex loss

I read on the Guardian that Digicel releasing it on Wednesday hopefully this is true

Arstechnica Z10 review:

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/ ... ne-review/

[fred1266]

any word on when Bmobile would have Z10 available

[Khafra]

I have read a lot of the reviews and honestly, using it for yourself will be the only way to understand it, using it for a day to do a review isn't the same, i've had this for less than 4 days and i still finding out more and more,

like there was a review that said you can change the focus point in the camera away from the centre. When in actuality you can drag the focus box anywhere on the screen to where u want the focus to be, which was strange to miss since when u open the camera for the first time it tells you this.

My point is, don't read reviews as gospel because at least some of these ppl can't read a manual of follow instructions and then want to blame the device.


On the topic of Apps:
I have about 80 apps installed on my Z10 right now, including the android version of Whatsapp and Google maps, takes less than 5 mins to do.

I can't express how much i love the "Hub", it really is the centre piece of the OS.

The gestures are extremely easy to master, to minimize anything swipe up. for everthing else there are visual cues

WP much? Sigh...

[christopherwilliams2]

you could focus anywhere on the s3 camera too...just tap the screen.

The Hub on BB10 is much nicer than what I experienced on a WP7.5 Samsung Focus S i have for about 6 months, not sure if WP8 is different.

on WP7.5 the message hub didnt include things like twitter and gchat conversations or notifications, tasks and calendar appointments in that one interface (AKAIR).

And btw, the playbook OS had a similar feature set and that was launched in May 2010, not saying WP doesnt have a Hub, not saying it isn't good. Just saying that i love the Hub as implemented on BB10

[Khafra]

Khafra what's the method to get android apps on bb10?

there are a few sites that have libraries of already repackaged Android apps,

http://apk2bar.unker.net/
http://goodereader.com/apps/category/playbook/
http://bb10bars.net/

You use a free utility called DDPB which allows you to select the app file and install it directly from your PC. It's what i use when i'm testing apps for BB10. Takes 5 mins start to finish.

[Khafra]

Another item contrary to what some reviews had stated - Cloud Storage

BB10 comes with Box and Dropbox Integration out of the box, this is a screenshot of the Box app showing that you can have all your photos and videos automatically synced in the cloud.

btw when you use the native file manager it shows you your cloud storage folders and you can very easily copy/paste files and folders between them, and it shows you the transfer progress while it uploads/downloads.

This shoul help if u haven't seen already

Wow, nice very cool discovery - when you edit a draft email in Gmail on your PC, it pops up in the BB10 Hub so you can continue to edite/send from your phone, nice indeed

[j.o.e]

Khafra tell us more cool stuff while we wait to experience first hand...any major improvements/surprises in the regular social apps? FB, Twitter, Foursquare

[Khafra]

BlackBerry Protect is now built into the OS, so no need to install separately like on BBOS, you sign in with your BBID and it:

tracks your phone and
allows you to see it on a map
lock the screen,
post messages to the screen,
force it to make a noise or
remote wipe the device.

the online interface also tells you the battery and reception levels on the device. hopefully the fact t's now built in will get more ppl to use it instead of msging me after it's stolen to find out how to track it

https://protect.blackberry.com

[j.o.e]

heard it no longer does automated backups tho..not sure how true

[Khafra]

in BB10 (and BBM7 on BBOS), BBID backs up and syncs all your BBM contacts,

for notes and tasks, you can sync them with an account if you have a supported service like right now i have notes and tasks that sync with my exchange account at the office. Likewise with calendar items.

Other items like wifi profiles and such, I don't see an option, but I can live with that. For the people that want it, hopefully the next update or 10.1 will include more features

P.S. happens on all devices I use.

So how many users do you think will use this apk to bar method to get apps? Do u think the average end user will do it?
I think not.
